One of the young victims of the Connecticut school shooting is apparently a former San Diego resident, whose new life on the East Coast was chronicled in a colorful blog.

First-grader Avielle Richman, 6, was among 20 children shot dead on Friday at Sandy Hook Elementary School by 20-year-old Adam Lanza. The gunman also killed his mother and six school employees before killing himself.

According to USA Today, a blog called Avielle’s Adventures was her family’s blog. It highlighted the girl’s life since moving from San Diego to Connecticut.

“Our little hummingbird is starting first grade tomorrow,” says a blog post as the girl headed back to school on Aug. 28.

The blog showed her graduation certificate from kindergarten at the school last spring. From the postings, it’s unclear when she moved from San Diego.

The earliest blog post visible is dated May 28. The blog features photographs of a smiling, curly-haired girl blowing out birthday candles, tending horses and reading in an arm chair, possibly with her grandmother.

In one post, the family longs for San Diego’s sunny days.

“While I would love to be living back in San Diego and its easy-on-the-weatherman 70 degrees and sunny everyday weather, I sure do love the four seasons here,” it says. “The Fall colors are amazing right now.”

The blog indicates Avielle loved archery, inspired by the movie “Brave.” It features her cats, Molokai and Sally, and it says she had a birthday party in October at the Zoar Ridge stables.
